[14:14]  ¹ tn Heb “for the terror of the Lord was upon them.”

[14:14]  ² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the men of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:14]  ³ tn Heb “for great plunder was in them.”

[16:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “and Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of the armies which belonged to him against the cities of Israel.”

[16:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “They struck down.”

[16:4]  ⁶ sn In the parallel passage in 1 Kgs 15:20, this city’s name appears as Abel Beth Maacah. These appear to be variant names for the same place.

[18:33]  ⁷ tn Heb “now a man drew a bow in his innocence” (i.e., with no specific target in mind, or at least without realizing his target was the king of Israel).

[18:33]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:33]  ⁹ tn Heb “camp.”

[22:5]  ¹⁰ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[22:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[22:6]  ¹⁵ tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

[22:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.

[25:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “had sent back from going with him to the battle.”

[25:13]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “stripped.”

[25:13]  ¹⁸ map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

[25:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “struck down.”

[25:14]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “sons.”

[25:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “caused them to stand for him as gods.”

[25:16]  ²² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:16]  ²³ tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”

[25:16]  ²⁴ tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”

[28:23]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.

[28:23]  ²⁶ tn Heb “said.”
